Qu Zhang looked at Lu Jiayue in a daze.

He gradually couldn't hear what Lu Jiayue was saying clearly, but he felt that the girl in front of him had smart eyebrows and a pink face with spring, like a budding begonia flower under the warm spring sun.

Delicate and trembling, tender and full, people unconsciously want to get closer, fold off the flower branches and smell lightly.

After Lu Jiayue finished speaking, seeing that Qu Zhang was just staring at herself, she couldn't help but secretly scream in her heart.

Could it be that his idea was too whimsical, so that Qu Zhang's expression changed greatly?

“... Third brother," Lu Jiayue called cautiously, "Do you think I can still make this idea?" ”

This third brother called Qu Zhang back to his senses, and he felt out of shape, feeling embarrassed, and even the roots of his ears burned red in an instant.

Lu Jiayue became more and more strange.

What do you do if you blush? I didn't say anything that broke the rules...

I heard Qu Zhang coughing, but his eyes only looked at the ground, and he smiled embarrassedly, "Make, make." ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but look up at Xin Zhu, Xin Zhu also looked at her, the master and servant looked at each other, and they both felt that Qu Zhang's expression and demeanor were a little wrong.

But since he said yes, he agreed, and he could ask him for help.

Lu Jiayue smiled and said: "Mrs. Liang is going to come to greet the old lady the day after tomorrow, why don't the third brother invite Young Master Liang to come with Mrs. Liang, if he really comes, let's see each other again, how about it?" ”

Before Lu Jiayue's words fell, Qu Zhang nodded and smiled: "Very good, very good." ”

promised so happily, but Lu Jiayue was a little stunned, she was really confused, she only felt that Qu Zhang was so "reasonable", which was really beyond her expectations. So he quietly squeezed his eyes at Xin Zhu, a little proud.

After thinking about it again, he was still a little uneasy, and said, "I don't know how sure the third brother is about inviting Young Master Liang to come?" ”

Qu Zhang glanced up at Lu Jiayue, and then lowered his eyes quickly, "The day after tomorrow is the school vacation, I sincerely invite him, he will come." ”

Speaking of school leave, Lu Jiayue couldn't help but think of Qu Ronglai, and asked with a smile: "Qingfeng Academy is also the same as Guozijian, is it the first and fifteenth day of the first month of the month?" ”

"Guozijian is a national school, how dare Qingfeng Academy compete with Guozijian," Qu Zhang's face gradually returned to normal, and he said, with a clear sense of loss in his tone, "In the academy, there is a vacation on the fourteenth and twenty-eighth of each month, and the day after tomorrow is the fourteenth, I think it is Sister Lu who remembered the wrong day." ”

Lu Jiayue laughed.

The matter has been done, Lu Jiayue got up and said goodbye.

"Then it's decided, and the third brother must invite Young Master Liang to come over the house the day after tomorrow."

Qu Zhang agreed, and watched Lu Jiayue leave.

It wasn't until Lu Jiayue walked through the courtyard, turned out of the courtyard door, and disappeared with his back that he turned around and went back to the house and sat down again.

Somehow, I only felt that I was lost in my heart, but there was another strange feeling that I had never felt before, and it was indescribable.

Hiding from her elders like this, how could she easily agree to let Yingmei meet with her foreign man in private?

I never thought that one day I would be involved in this kind of marriage between men and women.

And this Sister Lu... I didn't think anything of it when I first saw her, she was just a delicate little girl, but just now her cheeks were flushed and she smiled shyly, but she couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to be close to her.

Qu Zhang laughed self-deprecatingly, raised his hand and slapped his forehead twice.

Sober up, she's just a thirteen-year-old girl... I should treat her like Yingmei, leniency and care, not those shameless thoughts.

Qu Zhang's heart was troubled, the little maid Shuangshou came in to clean up the tea clock, walked to the place where Lu Jiayue had just sit, and then picked up the tea clock and put it in the tea tray, but suddenly "tsk" twice and laughed.

"It's so fragrant—I don't know what kind of incense Miss Lu Biao smokes? It smells so good! ”

Qu Zhang, hearing this, also walked over, and before he got close, there was a wisp of fragrance, which was lush and elegant, and fell into his nose in a slight.

There is no incense in his study, except for his mother, there has never been a woman next to him, and it is Sister Lu who has sat here, and it must be the fragrance she left.

The Yiren have gone, leaving the fragrance behind.

Qu Camphor looked up and looked into the courtyard.

It was dark, and there were two wind lanterns hanging under the courtyard gate, swaying in the cold wind of deep winter. There is still snow in the courtyard, and a camphor tree is still full of lush greenery, standing proudly in the cold wind of ice and snow.

Everything is the same as before, and it has not changed in the slightest.

However, he clearly felt that some things had quietly changed when they were imperceptible...

*

The next day was the fourteenth day of the lunar month.

Early in the morning, several wives, young grandmothers and young ladies of the Qu family gathered in Ju'an Hall.

This is also the meaning of Mrs. Qu, the family and the daughters are all there, so they can express their sincerity to welcome Mrs. Liang's arrival.

Lu Jiayue naturally wanted to be by Mrs. Qu's side.

The ladies were talking and laughing, and the maids outside were spreading the word that Mrs. Liang had already gotten off the carriage in front of the front yard and was now coming to the inner courtyard.

I don't know if Young Master Liang came with Mrs. Liang?

Lu Jiayue's heart was worried, and she was a little unsettled.

When there was a sound of footsteps outside, and gradually came to the banquet room, the little maids followed and opened the curtains, and let in a few female relatives.

Lu Jiayue hurriedly looked at it quietly.

I saw a middle-aged woman in front of her head, about forty years old, wearing a persimmon red ink chrysanthemum satin jacket, a stone blue cotton horse-faced skirt, elegant makeup, and a quiet temperament, thinking that it should be Liang Shaokuan's wife. There was also a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl beside her, with a delicate and beautiful appearance, wearing a lilac purple satin jacket and a moon-white silk skirt, the lilac purple color was extremely elegant, which made her temperament beautiful and refined.

Is she Liang Shaokuan's daughter? is good-looking, but I don't know what her brother Liang Hao looks like?

Lu Jiayue sat up uncertainly, and couldn't help but add anxiety.

Behind Mrs. Liang and Liang Wan, there was also Mama Wang, who had come to visit Mrs. Qu last time, and there was also a maid of the same age as Liang Wan.

Mrs. Liang was very polite, and took Liang Wan to greet Mrs. Qu first, talked about the cold temperature, and met the ladies one by one before sitting down.

Mrs. Qu smiled and said to Mrs. Liang: "Although we are all official dependents, the fourth eldest of my family and the adults of your family are both serving in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and we should be more intimate than others," said, seeing Mama Wang holding a few gift boxes and handing them to the big girl Coral, she couldn't help frowning, "What is this for?" I was about to say that we don't have to see each other, but you talk about such etiquette, but it really seems that we are angry. ”

Mrs. Liang smiled sincerely and said: "Where did the old lady say, since I was the first time to come back to meet the old lady, if I didn't even have a little meeting gift, then the people on the side knew that they only said that our two families were affectionate, not a false courtesy, if I didn't know, don't say that I was frivolous - it was just some ordinary objects, not worth anything, and the old lady must not dislike it." ”

Old Madam Qu nodded and said with a smile: "It's the first time we've met today, and it's okay, our two families will have more exchanges in the future, but don't talk about those etiquettes anymore." ”
